Overview

Named the top D.C. startup to watch in 2016, 2017, and 2018, Quorum is software built for public affairs, providing one place for stakeholder engagement, legislative tracking, and grassroots advocacy.

Called “The Moneyball Effect on K Street” by the Washington Post and “Google for Congress” by the Huffington Post, Quorum has been featured in over 50 news outlets and is used by Walmart, Coca-Cola, Apple, the United Nations, and many other companies, trade associations, and advocacy groups.

About Us

We’re a small team that works fast. Iterating and shipping code quickly is in our DNA. Done is better than perfect, but we do our best to build systems that let us move quickly without breaking too many things.
We support many different products but internally think of them as one system with a single unified codebase. Our goal is to build centralized systems that handle the hard stuff for multiple features and products.
We live on the cutting edge of software engineering in both our frontend and backend. We rely heavily on open source tools but aren’t afraid to dig in and make something better ourselves.
We’re very close as a team — we work together, hang out together, eat together, and some of us even live together. Previously, The Washingtonian described us as “DC’s nerdiest group house… shaking up Washington’s oldest trade.”
What You’ll Do

First week: you’ll ship new code to production
First month: you’ll write code at several levels of the stack, from infrastructure to the API to the UI
First 6 months: you’ll take ownership of an entire set of features and make decisions that impact many clients
First year: you’ll help guide our team as we make broad technical decisions impacting our stack, our products, and the growth of the entire company
